Flight BR61 Taipeh -> Bangkok -> Vienna. Why the deboarding in Bangkok?

I recently flew from Taipei (TPE) to Vienna (VIE) via Bangkok (BKK), with EVA Air BR61.

In Bangkok, all passengers had to deboard, and then go through security again and board again, for a ~1 hour stop.

That was quite inconvenient (and sleep-interrupting). What's the reason behind this? Safety considerations during refueling?
